    "A good family entertainer for a one time watch"

    This movie is basically a story of a girl who loves wrestling and comes to Kerala from Punjab to fulfill her dreams.

    This movie went in a perfect pace. It showed us the value of wresting in Kerala. The movie had comedy, a good story and wresting. This movie was a good family entertainer. I liked the acting of the hero and Renji Paniker. The heroine could have improved in some places. Rest of the characters did a great job in this movie. Maybe the ending had something to do with dangal but without any superstars this movie did a great job to shine in the theaters. This movie was not dragged like most of the Malayalam movies. It had nice unforgettable songs too.

    Yes I would suggest this movie to everyone I know there has been many wresting movies in India now but this movie is worth a onetime watch.

    Notable Acting

    Renji Paniker famous for his movies like Jacobs kingdom, ohm shanthi osana, picket 43 and many more.

    Tovino Thomas famous for his movies like Ennu ninte mohideen, Charlie and many more.

    My Rating 8/10

    A good family entertainer!

    After Basil Joseph's 1st directorial venture , godha was for sure a breath of fresh air . It's a sports film with a dash of romance and comedy . Also I have noticed that there are some wrestling scenes that have a resemblance from Dangal . Awesome acting by the whole cast . It's a watchable family movie .

    One of the Best Movies of 2017 !!!

    This will certainly be one of the best movies of 2017, the movie belongs to Wamiqa Gabbi, she has done a terrific role which is almost tailor made for her. Tovino and Ranji Paniker have done very well.

    There is never a dull moment in the film, it entertains you from start to finish and it does that with a meaningful message.

    The support cast of Aju Varghese,Bijukuttan,Darmajan and the rest has also done a decent job, the jokes are refreshingly new,in fact the casting is excellent, all the actors have done justice to their respective roles.

    This is a good entertainer, go watch it !!!

    Sports comedy entertainer

    Godha narrates the story of anjaneyadas(tovino thomas) who is sent by his father captain (renji panicker) to a college in punjab for studies. There he befriends a punjabi girl adithi(wamiqa gabbi). Adithi dreams to be a wrestler but doesn't get support from her brother who is a police officer. One day das gets into a tussle with her brother and das goes back to kerala fearing her brother. Few days later, adithi enters kerala and meets das. Das makes her stay in his home. Captain who is a wrestling coach realises adithi's talent and trains her to be a wrestling champion. Rest of the film is how adithi becomes a champion. Tovino underplays as das, renji panicker gives his another best performance after jacob. Wamiqa gabbi is the star of the film who shines in acting and action. Film has lot of comedy which keeps the film lively. Shaan rahman's music and bgm is an asset. Cinematography is very great. Basil joseph makes another good village entertainer after kunjiramayanam. But the story is predictable and has a dejavu factor of dangal and sultan. On the whole godha is a sports comedy entertainer.

    A Great Follow Up To Kunjiramayanam

    Godha Had A Big Release This Weekend Alongside Achayans And Adventures Of Omanakuttan For A Really Tight Competition.

    Godha Has Adapted Many OF The Dangal Elements Into The Film, Encompassing The Viewers With Astounding Camera Work And Mind Blowing Cinematography Alongside The Decent Yet Satisfying Storyline. The Spotlight However Goes To REnji PAnicker , Who Has Shined Alongside A Star Cast Of Tovino Thomas, Aju Varghese And The Debutant Actress Wamiqa Gabbi. The Mohanlal References By Tovino Earned The Cheers And Praises From The Crowd As The Theatre Burst Into Claps And Whistles.

    Many Viewers Will Find The Storyline And The Screenplay Quite Boring , Especially The 2nd Half, Wheereas The Director Has Succeeded In Bringing Comedic Elements Into Such A Motivating And Inspirational Film.

    Overall, Godha Is A Sure Shot Success, Considering The Other Two Film Releasing Alongside Is Getting Negative - Avg. Reports.

    My Rating - 7.9/10
